To alt whom it may concern:-

Be it known that We, WILLIAM'A. Rronnr and CLEM H. Rownns, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Akron, Ohio, have inin Gasoline and OilSavers, of: 'which' the following is a specificationr Our invention"relates to devices used to connect the breather pipe and intake manifoldof automobiles for the purpose of drawing carbureted air from the crankcase to' the manifold. Among the objects of our invention are: to sosimplify the construction of devices of the class indicated as to makethem easy to install; to construct a device of the-class described insuch a manner that. it can be readily attached to automobiles ofdifferent sizes; to so construct a device of the class indicated thatthe same can if desired be used to inject inflammable fluidinto the;

manifold intake for starting purposes, and. such further objects,advantages andcapa bilities as will later more fully appear. 15

' Our .invention further resides'in the combination, construction and]arrangement of ferred embodiment, we desire the same'to be" understoodas illustrative only and notas In the drawing annexed hereto materia 1ing a part hereof, Fig. 1 is an elevation of a part of an automobileengine with our imits. vice disassociated from other structure.

Normally the manifold intake 3 is not providedwith an aperture at the point where'it branches and it is therefore.necessary in applying our device to drilland tap a hole at this point.The screwthreaded stopcock 4, attached to one end of a flexible hose 5,may thenbe screwed into this aperture. To the opposite end of hose 5 isconnected a metallic thimble 6 which is secured to the top-7 ofla sleeve8. This sleeve is of such a size that it can be readily slipped into theend of the .breather when the cap is removed therefrom. ithin the sleeve8 is secured a piece of fine mesh ipe.

wire' gauze 9 adapted to prevent any dust or large partlcles of oil orother foreign matter from passing from the crank case into theman1foldi'intake.- vented certain newand useful Improvements If it isdesired to inject benzine, gasoline, or the like into the manifoldintake, in order 1 to assist in starting the engine, this can be theflow of the fluid into the manifo d.
